The Riedel Glassware Experience
September 20 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Now RIEDEL can also be your everyday wine glass!
Most of us hesitate to pull out the RIEDEL glass or decanter on a weeknight… time, care, energy level, and many other barriers. And still , if you open a good bottle of wine, don’t you pine to smell and taste all that it has to offer?
Problem solved! Enter the RIEDEL Performance line of glassware.
With three generations of experience in creating functional, grape varietal specific glassware, RIEDEL Performance is the result of 10th and 11th generations Georg and Maximilian Riedel’s drive to continually improve on what has come before.
This technologically advanced collection is the first RIEDEL series to feature bowls with a light optic impact. Detailed research by the Riedel family, aimed at improving the organoleptic wine experience, revealed that increasing the inner surface area of the glass had a positive impact on the perception of the bouquet and flavor of the wine.
This unique optical effect not only adds a pleasing visual aspect to the bowl, but also expands the surface area, allowing the wine to open up and fully show every aroma and subtle nuance.
Consisting of lightweight, durable and dishwasher-safe shapes, RIEDEL Performance glasses are executed by machine in sparkling crystal glass.
With fine stems and large stable bases, the range also includes new bowl shapes for Cabernet, Chardonnay and Riesling that, when combined with the optic effect, deliver ultimate wine enjoyment.
RIEDEL Performance is a must-have glass collection for all wine lovers.
Join us Friday, September 20th at 7 p.m. at the Hilton Harrisburg when we welcome RIEDEL Company’s Susan Durbrow who will guide us through glass comparisons between RIEDEL and the Hilton glassware (or bring your own favorite wine glass to compare). Great learning!
If the science doesn’t convince you that a glass really makes that much difference—join us to find out. And if you already know, I know you’ll be there!
If you have other RIEDEL glasses—but didn’t get the education to use them to best advantage AND care for them appropriately—you need to be there too.
There will be nice wines—but no food—to ensure undistracted, serious glassware testing! Thus—please eat dinner prior to the event. We will be tasting white and red wines.
This event has always been popular AND extremely informative! We rarely offer this event due to the coordination work, and expense involved. This event and the glassware is well worth the investment. If you do nothing else to advance your personal wine knowledge and enjoyment this fall, attend this event.
Reservations include a set of four different varietal RIEDEL Performance glasses that are yours to keep after the event.
And should you want more glassware, a unique decanter, or other bar ware—usually the case following these tastings—you may order anything from the RIEDEL catalog through PWS and take advantage of our PWS Authorized Distributor offers to save!
If your wine could choose a glass, it would be RIEDEL.
Reservation deadline is September 17th and the event is widely advertised so don’t wait—just do it.
